WoW Add-Ons For New Players and Beginners

While the guide part is good, the addons listed for new players is not. bartender and bagnon are horrible addons for new players and beginners. both of those tend to break every patch and are usually down for up to a few days after. also..if anything happens with those addons, players that use them tend to be in bad shape as they have no familiarity with the basic ui. Postal isnt needed as a new or beginning player, and even most veteran players will have no use for it. As for the "extras" ..most have no use being on a new or beginner list, as the features they have are for intermediate to advanced users. and some (looking at you faster loot) have the potential to get someone banned. The only ones on that list that belong there are Auctionator (not auctioneer as that one is much more complex), scrap, recount (skada has had issues this whole xpac, and details is a pain to set up so its useful), DBM (bigwigs isnt used as much, so dbm has a better chance of meshing with pugs),and GTFO.

2 i would add for "extras" would be Coordinates (for getting locations and directions easier), and Nomicakes (because nomi is a pain)

I would say that if you are a new player leveling up through Azeroth for the first time, you should definitely try the Storyline addon. It makes reading the quests and learning about lore much easier. It was also a big help when I did my loremaster achievement!

I think a really good leveling mod that I am using for leveling alts is called, Immersion. Immersion basically turns that long box of text into a talking head frame that starts using emotes to communicate with you. Here is a link to it. https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/immersion

I find the constant nags to update DBM annoying. It matters little to me that a boss timer has been adjusted by 50 milliseconds.

I do not write this to hijack the authors post, but mainly because i find some of the addons are not the best there is, so i give MY opinion, but i do not know all of the addons, so will only write about those i know off, and which i think could be a better pick and why.

I think i need to say this, mousetrap wrote that he do not think that new players should use any of the addons on the authors list, except Auctionator, think thats meeeh, as a new player, you should not "just" tell them to use easy addons, or "bad" ones, im not saying that there are bad addons out there, but there are "better" ones, why not use them at the beginning? Why should you take some thing that is not as great, just because its a bit "easier"?They then might think, ok this is the addone that is available and then get stuck with that for a long time, unknowing that there was a better option?When a new player ask me some thing in game, for instance how do i make gold, i could say yeah well kill mobs, no i would tell him some options to make decent gold, or should i tell him go kill lvl 1 and get copper from the loot, no right ? I would tell him how he (at hes level), can make some ok gold, and i know will benefits the new player way more, then just some half bad advice (addons as here). Its about getting a good start, and i do know that most of the addons i listed is not for 6 year old kids, i presume that many of the players that seek addons already know what addons is in one form or another, kids at 12+ now a day, they are not that stupid, they can figure out how to setup the addons, so who are we to tell them that they should only use "simple" addons, instead of the best available ones ?

I could not find a way to contact the author, else i would had send him this before i post it, but if WrathBabyBell Makes a comment, and ask me to remove my post i will do so ofc, but again its not to hijack hes post, but mainly to give the users a "in my opinion" better choices, will monitor it over the next few days, after that probably not any further.

Auctioneer:I was a big fan of it, but like 4+ years ago i wanted more. I were using the AH more and more, and auctioneer was not giving me every thing i wanted, so i looked around and found Tradeskillmaster (TSM), i installed it and it was like OMFG this is not what i want, it was way to complicated, it was confusing compared to the other AH addons, so after a few hours i uninstalled it again, but then i thought ah well youtube might help with the setup. TSM v3 can be really complex, so after a few days with it, it became the addone for me.

TSM v3 is out now, but soon TSM v4 will be replacing it, it will be way more user friendly for new players, but for the experienced players (like my self NOW), it still offers a lot of customization, and its way faster to get into for new players. For those of you that are thinking of going into the AH business, this is THE addone to get.

But i would wait til TSM v4 is out, or go and see if you can get the Beta, i wont recommend you to go and mingle with v3, since v4 came in beta start of November last year, so it cant be long before its getting released, and the time you "must" spend on setting it up is not worth it i think.

You do not need to scan the AH either for item prices, you can go to TSM site and get the windows app, that then download the AH database directly, so no need to sit 10+ mins and scan the AH.

Bagnon: Might want to read this before reading any further on Bags from: KereFr

Which he might be right, but i still want to give you mu opinion, AdiBags might fit like most of the players, but i like to be in control, so there for i got ArkInventory on the list also.

Yeah its a nice little addone, but for me again it was to simple, was still to cluttered when you get new items, and you have to spend way to much time sorting it all out, so again i found a replacement for it and the addone was ArkInventory, its way more complex, but gives you way more options, like making rules.For instance if you want to have all armor sorted out in their own "virtual bars" you can make a rule for that like this "type( "armor" )" or if you want only cloth armor in that bar then you can make a rule like "type( "armor" ) and subtype( "cloth" )". Or lets say you have multiply set of armor, DPS, Healer and tank, you then probably already use the set function in wow, you can then make sure that they are sorted out in their own bar with "outfit( "healing" )" and so on, or if you dont mind they all are in the same bar then just do "outfit( )" it will then take every thing that you have in a outfit and place it in that bar...

It makes it really easy. Once you have made the rules it all goes automatically, like you always have herb/ore/leather and so on in their own bar if you have specified that, there are tons of rules you can make. And the nice thing is, it works with TSM also, so you can in TSM make your own groups and then just make a rule in ArkInventory that then uses the TSM groups, for instance i have rules for Junk transmogs, i mean those that sells for less then 200g on the ah, i just put them in a "junk" group in TSM, and when ever i get one of the items, it goes in that bar, and i know i just can vendor it if i want to, and then ofc other groups for the more rare transmogs and so on, again lots of options.

For me this is the go to addone for bags, but it can be complicated to setup, but once you have figured it out you wont ever use any other.

Scrap:Well, if you have ArkInventory just make a rule for grey/junk items, or bop items that you wont use since its from a old raid for instance, and its just vendor trash now, so you can make a rule that puts it in a bar, like you can make the rule so that every thing that is bop and under ilvl 600 should be placed in that bar, but this was just another example on what ArkInventory also can do for you, you even can specify that the items that are in specific bars, can get auto vendoret also.But for the Scrap addone i would probably replace it with Vendorer, it gives you a lot of options, like Scrap you can press "Sell Jump Items" it will then as default sell grey items, but what this addone can do also is, you can drag items into 2 options "Ignore items" and "Add junk items" if you drag the items into "Add Junk Items" it will then get sold every time you press Sell Junk Items (or auto if you pick that, every time you visit a vendor), this is really great if you get a lot of the same items, and you always just vendor it, and on top of it, the addone also extend the normal frame width (optional) to double size, and ofc it comes with auto repair also (Optional). You can also use the search function for items, by name, id, price, level...

And lets say you need to buy 400 x Crystal Vial, then you just SHIFT click and tells it how many of that you want to buy, or press Stack...

Mapster:Can only say get it, its the best map addone i have found so far.

Damage meters:I have been on them all, was on Recount for a while, but it was not really my thing, like the author wrote, way to many problems (this is way back tho), but its a bit old and can be resource hunger. I then went for Skada for some years, actually up til Legion, i was happy with it til i found Details, Details is just so nice, and when i ran the AddOns CPU Usage i did not really see any of the spikes i had with Skada, it uses next to nothing, it performs well, it got a ton of features, i just love it..But which one is most accurate, well some say the one other the other one, but take the one you like the most, and which fits your needs.

DBM:Yeah its the one i know, have not found the need to switch since it works for me, if BigWigs is better or not i cant say, since well yeah only ever used DBM.

GTFO:Yep

For the extras:Wont come in to the ones that is already mentioned, i use the most of them my self so :)

Kaliel's Tracker If you just want a better Quest tracker, this is the one, it got a lot of options..

All The Things If you are like me and collect EVERYTHING, then this is for you, it shows you what item to get in what zone, instance, vendor... and filter the items out you already got (optional)

BadBoy This i just wonder why is not on the Extras list here, its a MUST get rid of the spammers, you can make your own filters for intance if you get tired of the "WTS +15 bla bla bla", then just do a /badboy and then put in +15, and every chat that contains +15 in it, will get filtered out, it comes with a lot of premade filters (hidden for the users, except if you go to the lua file), really great to filter out those spammers.

Auto Confirm Static Popups If your like me tired of the damn popup asking you to press OK, or what ever this will do it for you, no longer have to press YES i want to abandon the quest... (Not been updated for a while tho, but it still works, the author is still around, last seen 10 hours ago, so probably will be updated for BFA)

FarmHud Its a must if you farm Ore, herb... it gives you a overlay on screen instead of the minimap, also great if you hunt Rare and what not, what ever is on the minimap you can also see on the big map, i use it even in PvP to keep track of the players.

Leatrix_Plus Leatrix Plus is an efficient and modular addon which offers lots of quality of life improvements to enhance the default user interface. Its a must :)

I use a lot of other addons, but those are the ones that i think every one can get some use out off.

And this is MY opinion, and as an opinion i cant say i'm right ofc, but now at least you got some more options.

This is one of my favorite addons, since you don't have to take your eyes off your character to check your health, target's health, or your mana/energy/whatever.

My favorite Bag addon is Combuctor. The tabs on the side to organize whats in your bags appeals more to me than the other bag addons, and feels like it fits the default Blizzard UI better than Bagnon.

I can't add a link since I'm still new, but its on Curse/Twitch.

Within the last couple of days the addon called Postal has borked out. It has the Alt list grayed out and is not working as well as it did a week ago. Something in the latest Bliz patch did something to it but I cannot figure out why or what.

If you are going to suggest addons, I would recommend someone on your staff double check that the addons you recommend are actually working as intended. I suspect something behind the scenes that might be connected in some manner to an auction house string, might be the culprit, but someone with more knowledge about the programming should really double check.

I do not recommend Postal at this point until it has been fixed to work correctly.

Thanks for the guide! I also found this addon Tycoon (strategies and how to apply them to get loads of gold) that really helped me out. Would definitely recommend to check it out! https://@#$%^&/2N1WPFe

Nothing like waking early ,click on your game,and POOF!,all the addons are gone.Again.hey,you gotta learn some stuff because if you don't understand any type of programing type things,etc.,well have fun figuring out what they're telling you to backup and blah blah.Mostly it's frustrating after 14yrs to want to play and spend hours reinstalling and reconfiguring your addons.Once I got used to them the original UI just lacks.Oh, and most of the people on here love to use acronyms,so get a dictionary,or glossary or definition of terms or webpage on hand.Don't feel silly if ya don't get it right away.And I don't let any players know I don't know what they're talking about,they're so helpful!Well,gotta go,Twitch shows I have only one addon ,again,and that one needs to be 'modified'.Just make sure your CC is up to date.Later

PS:I don't give a darn what you post about this.I've had enough & know how the over reactors will respond all too well.Nerds.
